Australia Lookups completed / Re: when did william ball and margaret ball come to australia

I mean to add that only the last four children were born in Australia (Adelaide). There were nine children in all, five of whom were born in Britain. Those I have listed are the only ones whose names we have. The first two names by dougmc in his opening post fill a gap for us. We did not even have their gender.
Interestingly, Charles Ball's seventh and final child was a son with the middle name 'Gow'. He died in infancy.

I did post the following information on a similar string about William and Margaret Ball (nee Bailey) so you might already have read this:

William Ball and Margaret Bailey are my great, great grandparents. From research by my late aunt more than 30 years ago, which included interviews with her father (William's grandson), we have the following:
William b. c1813, d.1871.
Margaret b.1821, d.1904
First two children not known but believed born in England and we don't know whether they came to South Australia, died in infancy or stayed in England.
William: b. 1844, d.1868
James: b.1847, d.1926
Margaret: b.c1850, d.1926
Eliza: b.1851, d. ?
Amelia: b.1853, d. ?
Charlotte: birth and death unknown, died in infancy
Charles: b.1863, d.1930
